ELECTRIFY YOUR MOBILITY
AMTRON® wallboxes and solar panels
With a photovoltaic (PV) system and the right AMTRON® wallbox, you can easily charge your electric vehicle using the solar energy you generate yourself. AMTRON® 4You 400 offers different levels of functionality, allowing you to choose the charging solution that best fits your lifestyle and individual requirements when combined with your solar installation and Home Energy Management System (HEMS).
Our wallboxes are compatible with photovoltaic systems and/or HEMS solutions from a wide range of leading manufacturers, giving you the flexibility to integrate them seamlessly into your existing energy ecosystem. That's a decisive advantage.
Wallbox and photovoltaics
Why combining them pays off
The benefits of solar charging are clear: Using electricity you generate yourself to charge your vehicle can offer both environmental and financial advantages, depending on your energy mix. By combining a wallbox with a photovoltaic (PV) system, you can power your mobility with self-generated solar energy while increasing your solar self-consumption through surplus charging. Instead of feeding excess electricity from your rooftop solar system into the grid, potentially at less favorable rates, you can put it to better use by charging your electric vehicle. This allows you to maximize the value of your solar energy and make even more efficient use of the power you produce.
Charge flexibly when and as you want and gain independence from large power companies. Yet another benefit: purchases of photovoltaic and home charging systems are being subsidised by various programmes across Europe.
Cost-effective
- Your car operates on free solar power
- Lower energy costs
- Many opportunities to benefit from subsidies
- Use solar energy instead of feeding it into the grid at low rates
- Independence from increasing energy prices
Flexible
- Easily charge at home whenever you like
- Independent power supply
- Many charging options
- Still possible to buy power from the grid
How to increase your own use of self-generated power
Charging with surplus power vs. mains power
You can easily control how much power is fed into your vehicle during a given time period. Two main charging functions are available for you to choose from: charging with surplus power and charging with power from the mains.
Putting surplus energy to good use
Energy from your photovoltaic system that's left over after you have supplied your house is referred to as 'surplus energy'. An intuitive, easy-to-use web interface lets you very easily use surplus energy from your home photovoltaic system to charge your electric vehicle. It's charged with up to the amount of available surplus energy. Charging may take a little longer, but instead of drawing power from the grid, your vehicle is charged exclusively with the solar energy you generate yourself.
Mains energy
If charging occasionally takes too long and you don't want to wait until your electric car has been fully charged with self-generated solar power, if wished a home charger from MENNEKES can be used to very easily use a combination of photovoltaic and mains power. In this case, charging is controlled so that as much solar energy as possible is used. If it drops below the minimum required for charging, the difference is made up with mains power during a time period that you specify.
